session.masteringphysics.comC PHY-1103 Fall 2018 Ch3 HVW Problem 3.38 11 of 12> What is the velocity of the jogger relative to the water? Constants A person going for a morning jog on the deck of a cruise ship is running toward the bow (front) of the ship at 2.0 m/s while the ship is moving ahead at 5.9 m/s. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units Value Units in the direction the boat is moving Submit Request Answer Part B Later, the jogger is moving toward the sterm (rear) of the ship. What is the jogger's velocity relative to the water now? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units

Explanation / Answer

A)

Vj = velocity of the jogger = 2 m/s

Vs = velocity of the ship = 5.9 m/s

Velocity of jogger relative to water = Vj + Vs = 2 + 5.9 = 7.9 m/s

B)

Vj = velocity of the jogger = - 2 m/s

Vs = velocity of the ship = 5.9 m/s

Velocity of jogger relative to water = Vj + Vs = - 2 + 5.9 = 3.9 m/s
